Yummy Find

By dctravel |

The Little Sweet Cafe offers both sweet and savory crepes. Stopped in for brunch with a group of 5. We were allowed to put to tables together on the sidewalk. Order inside and they bring the food and coffee to you. Food was tasty!

Tiny Place but Big Flavor with an Effete Ambiance

By JamieNYC |

This place is mainly for crepes, sandwiches, baked goods, desserts and coffees. It has changed a lot since I was here a few months ago. The Little Sweet Cafe used to have six tables, now there are only four. They now offer more desserts than before. The food used to come on paper plates, but now they arrive on what appeared to be porcelain. I had a flat-bread-style Philly cheesesteak last time but that is no longer on the lunch menu. I had a “Caprese” sandwich today ($11 on the lunch menu) and a glass of fresh-squeezed lemonade ($3). I think that the sandwich had chicken, tomato, mozzarella, basil and a balsamic dressing on it, but I don’t quite remember exactly (even though it was just a few hours ago). What I do remember is that it tasted delicious. The interior of this place has a somewhat effete ambiance. One wall is white and the opposite is covered in red wallpaper with gold flowers, as well as some exposed brick. There are tiffany/antique-looking mini-pendant lights hanging down from the ceiling. Although the interior is small, there is adequate space between tables. The Little Sweet Café is the kind of place you'd expect to find Frasier Crane and his brother Niles. Or maybe Charles Ryder and his flamboyant friend Sebastian Flyte. And I mean that as a compliment to this establishment, even though you won't find me here very often.

Nice find

Cozy cute spot, reminds me of a Paris cafe. friendly service and nice choices of small bites and drinks.

Little Place with Great Crepes

By retiredcanadian_wpg |

This little cafe was around the corner from my hotel. The crepes were made the way crepes are supposed to be made and the fillings were plentiful and tasty. The lattes were excellent and the prices good. Would definitely recommend for breakfast or lunch.

Charming cafe, good food

By Millie R |

The cafe itself was really lovely and the guy who worked there was super sweet. Good was really yummy but menu was a bit limited, and because there was only one guy on our food took ages. Probably more of a catch up with one friend rather than a whole group outing

Divine Late breakfast

By Siobhán O |

I found this place a couple weeks ago when I was in Brooklyn as it was right near my hotel. I will go back to that hotel just so I can be near The Little Sweet Cafe. We both had the smoked ham crepe, which is unbelievable and huge. So good. Two weeks ago my husband had the prosciutto omelette- it was gorgeous. It is small but mighty find! I will return on all my visits, my daughter is living there so I will be visiting monthly.

A hidden gem

By NanaNora6 |

Enjoyed an excellent hand made all beef burger. Charming decor, felt like we were in their home to eat. Wonderful experience!!

Try the Shakshuska! Simply wonderful! Great friendly and quick service.

By RachyIA |

Food is great! Try the Shakshuka, you won’t regret it! Friendly And quick service! Everything looks amazing. Crepes looked equally amazing.

Lovely little cafe, open for takeout

By Dave Liao |

Little Sweet Cafe is the perfect date spot. It's the coziest cafe, with coffee that's the tops, savory sandwiches and crepes for any occasion (read: all occasions!), and wine. This venue isn't laptop friendly but that makes sense since they're the size of a breadbox. If only they were open later - oh wait, they're only open for takeout right now due to the COVID-19 situation. Support your local business and feed yourself! It's a win-win. Get yourself the Florentine sandwich and pick up wine too ($15/bottle). Did I say wine too? Get TWO bottles of wine.

small but amazing!

By kelly f |

This place is a must try. Good food and one needs to be there to experience the vibe. Cant seem to fi d the right words to describe how great is this place... strongly recommend when you are in Brooklyn

Cozy, quiet and perfect "Brooklyn"

By Gailm |

This tiny spot is a perfect spot to enjoy coffee, pastry or a delicious crepe. The owner is delightful. Savory crepes wonderfully light, freshly prepared. It was nice to see the street outside and get away from the bustle of busier locales. Wish we'd had time to return for an afternoon dessert. Very close to NU Hotel where we stayed. This is the kind of place I enjoy when traveling.

Tiny, but terrific!

By sharrongeg |

Best coffee of our week in Brooklyn! Terrific, tiny restaurant (maybe 10 feet wide), with indoor seating for maybe 8-10 adults. 4 or 5 small tables outside as well. No dogs allowed inside (city ordnance) Fantastic cappuccino ($5.50 each for a large), Nutella crepe ($ 12) and scrambled egg with tomatoes and spinach crepe ( $21). Both crepes were excellent. Service friendly and quick. Leave your laptop at home, this place just doesn’t have the room. Highly recommend.

Love Love Love

Every time we stay in Brooklyn, this is the first port of call. The owners are wonderful, friendly adorable people. Their staff are always friendly and whilst its small, its a lovely place when its cold, wet and snowy. The hot chocolate is the stand-out item and Masoud's cookies are also to-die-for (when you can get them!)

Brunch with Mimosas's!

By bregeenc |

I loved this place, it's a hidden gem. Very small and only houses about 10 inside and a few outside. Portions are large and tasty. They are very generous with their mimosas!

Tiny Place, Huge Crepes

By Basketballfan |

I was looking for a place to get a quick mid-afternoon bite near my hotel but nothing caught my attention until I stumbled on this wonderful little café. The savory crêpes looked so delicious I had to try one. The cafe may be tiny but the crepes are big and filling. The chef (proprietor?) was kind and attentive. The place seems to be popular with the locals since many folks who came in were on a first name basis with the chef. I'll come again next time I'm in Brooklyn.

Amazing crepes! Friendly, funny staff.

By Jamie P |

I recently had breakfast here with a friend. We each had a crepe, one savory and one sweet. They were both delicious and filling. The decor is really sweet - there is a French feel without going overboard into cheesy and fake. The highlight was the staff, who were really friendly and outgoing. I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Charming! And Really Good Prosciutto Sandwiches Too!

By Robert A |

A tiny place, with lot's of charm. A delightful escape from the city streets. Don't go with too large a group. The total seating is about 10 people, maybe less. Coffee and sweets are available, but we stopped in for lunch. I had the prosciutto sandwich and it was great! It is a small menu, but, after all, it is a small place. Everything is run by one person, sometimes a man, sometimes a woman but always a very pleasant person. You will enjoy the experience. Oh, by the way, the only downside is that there is no bathroom.

Cool green

By Architecture and food |

A wonderful green soot for a breakfast beside all the hectic life of the city a place relaxed and calm. We had chai and flat white and a Danish. Intimate and will go again when in the area

Name says it all

By Christine G |

What a great spot. As the name says it’s little but they make the most of it. Limited menu but enough choices to please everybody. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Food is made to order and delicious. We had crepes and egg platter. Large portions, cooked perfectly. A great place to try!!

Tiny quiet boutique coffee shop

By rnarisetti |

Run by a couple and quite tiny, it has your usual $5 and up coffee and a small range of desserts and lunch food. Good to get away from the large coffee shops in that Brooklyn neighborhood and is nice for a chat and catch up

Nice place but messy crepes

By Violette D |

The place is nice, I had breakfast there and enjoyed my time but the crepe was not very good. too much chicken and the chicken was cut in pieces that were way too big and dry so that made the overall crepe a bit gross. It is a shame as it is clearly made on demand and the staff is really nice. I would just recommend that you check with a cook how to adapt the recipe of the salty crepe to make them a bit more fine !

Name says it all

By sethreaux |

Charming, cozy little place tucked away on Hoyt St. - big strong cup of joe $2.75. Great escape from downtown. Only downside is there is no restroom.

Great coffee shop!

By Pat G |

This place was below our AirB&B apartment, and it was super. Great crepes. And the apple pie dessert crepe was wonderful.

Best crepes and focaccia

By Per Ö |

Cosy place with friendly staff and the best crepes and focaccia this side of the Atlantic. Only seats 10-12, no computers or WLAN.

Little is the Word

By Tony_AG13 |

We popped in here on a Saturday lunchtime for a drink a bite to eat. We found a small, quaint coffee house, which is as big as a sitting room. It offers the usual drink selection but has home made cakes and cookies as well as hot and cold crepes. So if you fancy something different to the usual "chain" coffee houses pop in to the Little Sweet Cafe.

The crêperie or Brooklyn

By armenicum |

My favorite places for coffee croissants and crepes in a little space on the corner owned by a nice guy ready to tell a story while you wait for your crepes.

The name says everything

By efnaka |

The little sweet cafe is worth stopping by. Nice crepes and sandwiches. A small and nice place for having breakfast in Brooklyn.

Little gem

By Vacation32619976529 |

A little gem in Brooklyn with good coffee and crêpes and a friendly owner. The music and athmosphere complete the picture… Love from Belgium!

Real coffee!!

By Joan R |

This quaint little shop serves real coffee- capuccino, mocha etc. - the sort of coffee Australians in USA have trouble finding. We would have had breakfast there on our last morning, but it was a public holiday and the fellow behind the counter was still opening up. Once again, this place was over the road from where we were staying and is unassuming and easy to miss.
